It's the Final Reel for the VCR
DVD Movies Pushing Tapes Off Retailers' Shelves

I don't really see the big deal. Few people buy pre-recorded tapes anymore. Heck, they were never as popular as DVDs are now, thanks largely to the pricing structure. I still use my VCR for taping. Until DVD recording becomes widespread, and roughly as cheap as VHS (about $100 for a recorder, and maybe $1.50 for six hours of tape) the VCR won't go away.
